I am from Cameroon and if I am in the US now it is because of collapsing government. I will acknowledge God exist when African government will listen to their people.

when Obama runs to Africa to hide while our economy is sinking, unemployment is rising, and foreclosures are killing people..... We've also got troops dying every day in Afghanistan and Iraq..... Has Obama put Africa before America???? Guess so.

Don't just blog your complaints - write your representatives and senators and let THEM know. It's their job to fix what's wrong. Don't just whine and hate - take action.

The Prez tells us to what we can to stop global warming yet he travels the world leaving his carbon footprint. The Prez tells us to cut back, tighten our belts and sacrifice yet he travels the globe all on the taxpayer's dime. The Prez has his lavish weekly parties and imports steaks from Japan at $100.00 a pound. Our First Lady loves those $6000.00 handbags and $500.00 tennis shoes. Our First Lady is the first to have her very own makeup artist costing the taxpayer $100,000.00 a year.................Ah yes, another very famous person comes to mind..........Marie Antoinette.................cake anyone?

I think it's great that the president is in Ghana. I hope that America can forge a new relationship with many countries in Africa. The entire continent is going to be difficult, but we can start with the ones where there is a democracy.
